Security Researcher Detected: You might have ended up here because your site vulnerability scanner found something interesting. Hi! I'm a security engineer and I'm having a good time interacting with the people and bots that are interested in information security.
You will hopefully find this site is well-secured and I'm not interested in being hacked. I'm interested in learning about how people try to hack me, though.
What is this endpoint?
core/init.php
A framework or CMS bootstrap/initialization PHP file, probed to confirm the application and its version.
What an attacker could do
If reachable directly it can emit errors that disclose file paths, configuration, or framework version, narrowing an attacker's exploit selection.
How to defend it
Keep bootstrap files outside the web root or deny direct access, disable display_errors in production, and return a clean 404 for unknown paths.
